Hot water ran out after one shower. Sediment had taken half the tank. Flush and a new anode rod and it has been fine for two years.

Water Softener Installation in Algona, Iowa
We test hardness at your Algona tap before recommending anything, because a softener sized off a guess either regenerates constantly or never keeps up. Then it gets installed with a proper bypass valve, an air gap on the drain, and the hardness dialled in to your actual reading.
Call (833) 435-9778 and describe what is happening. We will give you an arrival window before you hang up and a flat price before anyone starts work - the same price at 2am as at 2pm.

Well water changes what you need
Homes outside the Algona municipal supply often deal with iron and sulphur alongside hardness, and a plain softener will not handle all three. We test before recommending anything, because the wrong equipment on well water either fails early or does nothing.

Old galvanised pipes giving us brown water every morning. They repiped in PEX and explained the trade-offs against copper honestly instead of just pushing one.

Snapped shutoff valve under the sink flooded the cabinet. Same-day visit, replaced both angle stops while he was in there. Sensible.

Water Softener Installation in Algona: common questions
How hard is the water in Algona?
Much of Iowa sits in the moderately-to-very hard range, and it varies by source even within a county. We test at your Algona tap so the softener is sized on your number rather than a regional average.
Will a softener help my water heater last longer?
Yes, measurably. Scale is what builds on the bottom of a tank and makes it rumble and lose capacity. Softened water slows that down considerably, which is why we often fit a softener and a heater together.
How much salt will it use?
A correctly sized unit for a Algona family typically goes through a bag or two a month. If yours is eating far more than that, it is usually sized wrong or set wrong - both fixable.
Do I need a softener if I am on a well?
Often yes, and sometimes you need iron filtration alongside it. Well water in Kossuth County can carry iron and sulphur that a plain softener will not handle well, so the test comes first.
Can you tell me what is wrong over the phone?
Often we can narrow it down, and sometimes we can tell you it is something you can fix yourself in five minutes. We would rather do that than send a truck you did not need.
